Rio de Janiero, Brazil

I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil on a business trip last month. After the conference was over, I spent a day of sightseeing in Rio before returning home. Here’s a short video of my time visiting Christ the Redeemer statue at the top of Corcovado mountain, the gondolas of Sugarloaf mountain, walking the streets of downtown Rio, and strolling the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. The song I picked for the video is “The Girl from Ipanema” which is the beach our hotel overlooked. Enjoy! (After clicking the arrow to “play,” you may want to pause it and wait for the video to load).

While I spent most of the time shooting video, here are a few snapshots with fun effects! The fallen cross (in Salvador)…

A few black and whites…

Sarah & John “Save the Date” – Northern Virginia Engagement Photographer

I hope you enjoy the movie trailer I put together for Sarah and John’s “Save the Date” announcements (below). I really enjoyed this video project (shot with the MKII) and look forward to making more movies for engagement couples or anyone with an interesting story idea!

A few more pictures which were potentials for the announcement cover. The cold weather and setting sun only gave us a few minutes of shooting after taking the movie. With the wind chill temperatures at 12 degrees, I actually think my fingers were frostbitten in only 10 minutes outdoors. Next time, we’ll wait until Spring!

Yesterday, I met with three friends, Amy, Dana, and Melissa for a group photo shoot. All three girls went to high school together and are back from Virginia Tech (Hokies) and James Madison University (Dukes) on break. Our photo session focused mainly on individual shots (in posts below), but we had to get a few of everyone together. Check out the slideshow below… music is “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga!

Enjoy the slideshow.
